9.5.2 Metal drilling
Support thin material with a piece of scrap wood. Use a centre punch to mark the position of
the hole. If drilling a large hole, use a small-size drill bit first to establish a pilot hole then use
the required large-size drill bit. Use only HSS (High Speed Steel) drill bits or those recommend-
ed for metal use. When drilling into iron or steel, use no lubricant but withdraw the drill regularly
to assist cooling.
9.5.3 Wood drilling
Mark the place where you want to drill with a punch or a nail. To avoid splintering on break-
through, either clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back of your workpiece or continue the hole
from the back of the wood when the drill bit first breaks through.
9.5.4 Masonry drilling
For maximum performance use carbide-tipped masonry impact bits when drilling holes in brick,
tile etc. Rotate the torque selector to its impact position. Apply light pressure and medium
speed for best results in brick. When drilling holes in tiles, practice on a scrap piece to deter-
mine the best speed and pressure.
